Acoustics waves - Linear wave equation - sound in fluids - Harmonic plane waves -Energy density - Acoustics intensity - Specific acoustic impedance - spherical waves -Describer scales.Reflection and Transmission:oblique incidence - method of images.Transmission from one fluid to another normal 
UNIT II RADIATION AND RECEPTION OF ACOUSTIC WAVES 9 
Radiation from a pulsating sphere - Acoustic reciprocity - continuous line source -radiation impedance - Fundamental properties of transducers.Absorption and attenuation of soundAbsorption from viscosity - complex sound speed and absorption - classical absorptioncoefficient 

UNIT III PIPES RESONATORS AND FILTERS 9 

Resonance in pipes - standing wave pattern absorption of sound in pipes - longwavelength limit - Helmoltz resonator - acoustic impedance - reflection and transmissionof waves in pipe - acoustic filters - low pass, high pass and band pass.Noise, Signal detection, Hearing and speechNoise, spectrum level and band level - combing band levels and tones - detectingsignals in noise - detection threshold - the ear - fundamental properties of hearing -loudness level and loudness - pitch and frequency - voice

 UNIT IV  ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS: 9

 Sound in endosure - A simple model for the growth of sound in a room - reverberationtime - Sabine, sound absorption materials - measurement of the acoustic output ofsound sources in live rooms - acoustics factor in architectural design.Environmental Acoustics:Weighted sound levels speech interference - highway noise - noise induced hearingloss - noise and architectural design specification and measurement of some isolationdesign of portions.
